Re: 39 Years Ago Notre Dame and Alabama played for it All

Is that the game where Bryant's intense film study actually worked against him? I'm thinking of ND's pass to the TE late in game - it wasn't tightly covered because Bryant knew that they hadn't thrown to him the entire year.

Poor old Lou Holtz will be in 7th Heaven. He can cheer for his old team, and cheer against us at the same time.

I get to say that I sat on the 35 when Perkins Alabama team played ND.
I was so hoarse I couldn't talk for two days.
Got to confess that I've always been a Perkins fan. IMO: He just came along at the wrong time...

I was 16 years old, my dad had moved us from Mobile to New Orleans a couple of years before, and we were at that game. What a gut wrencher. I still want some payback all these many years later. Krymsonman

It was actually 1986 .
